That is one thing I have never had a chance to have a scrap with on a rod and reel and that is a marlin and a tuna and those two fish are on my bucket list to get in to a scrap with when I get an opportunity to do so.

In Australia My buddy and I used to target 'Bonito' as we called them. I believe the jack mackerel is one and the same isn't it? Anyway we bled them like a sambo and ate them fresh. If I remember rightly they have few bones and ended up tasting firm and chicken like. Lots of the tuna's do I reckon. Even kingies
We were forever winging the bonito to try to get the never present marlin to show up. Lucky we weren't visited by 'jaws' more often
Nah they are quite different mate.
Jack mack are bony little mackerel.
Skip Jack or "bonito" are fat little tuna.

I will never forget the day we got our first Marlin. I was holding onto the mainline with about 15m out and a frisky little skippy attached.
I said to my mate (who had caught plenty up north) "how do I know when its getting eaten"?
He said "you'll fuckin know alright"!!
About 10 mins later the skippy on the end of my line was getting super agitated and then this bill and head and fish come flying out of the water and swallowed it whole, ripping the line out of my hands then taking line like a maniac.
My mate was up so he jumped in the chair and 55 mins later we had tagged and released our first Strippey!!
Buzzy as!
I myself am yet to get a marlin but have been skipper for a couple and present on many close but no cigars.
Nothing comes close to the mayhem that goes on ha ha ha! :thumbsup:
I quite often make a marinated raw fish dish for our Japanese students to take to school. Mostly use Kahawai, but have used Macks as well. We never get any back, and the teachers have even commented how good it is.
So bloody simple too. Fish plus coconut cream and chopped onion/capsicum. Bit of lemon juice. Stick it in the fridge overnight and Whamo !
My one is soak in lemon juice, onions and white vinegar overnight biff in a can of sweetened condensed milk the next day and eat (not a fan of coconut cream)
AGH those things!!! We had them by the billions - yeah those things are bait at best lol. My student mate tried to eat a big one but he said there were more bones than in a barracuda.
Fantastic at bringing things in (if you're game to chum them). Place goes bananas with those things in the water
In Aus those are known as yellowtail scad - or just 'yakkas'. The mackerel with the see though top of their head is just called a 'slimey'.
Hunter what the ? Sweetened condensed milk and fish? Must taste like crap, you really do this? If you say yes, I'll give it a spin!
